Caught the end of it where they were comparing MP3 CD and LP. Same
piece
of music. Comment about vinyl was analogue must sound better than
digital
as it contains all the information rather than just samples. Wonder
what
their sound recordist thought about that. ;-)

Missed the beginning of the piece so don't know what they made the MP3
from. If they even said. They did say it was at the highest sampling
rate.

They both sort of agreed the MP3 sounded best..

As ever is the case with such programmes - and especially the Gadget
Show - the didn't do a realistic test. The amp and speakers they used
are not designed to fill an audtitorium with sound but rather a domestic
listening room albeit maybe a large one. If they had listened under
those conditions, where the environment is not intended to reinforce the
sound, where they would have been listening at sounds levels that the
ear can better handle, and above all, where they are closer to the
speakers I suspect their findings would have been somewhat different.

But that's 'red-top' TV for you.
